The statisticsare clear...everybody loves to camp. This site was designed to inform and educate people and families who are interested in making possibly one of the most important decisions in their lives...owning a Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park' Camp-Resort franchise. Leisure Systems, Inc. (LSI), is the official franchiser of Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts. Through an exclusive license with Hanna-Barbera Productions, Leisure Systems has the right to use the name and image of the famous cartoon character, Yogi Bear, for campground marketing purposes. Founded in 1969, the Jellystone Park system has grown to include nearly 70 locations in the United States and Canada making it the second largest franchised campground operation in the United States. The Company is fully staffed with professionals to assist campground operators in the areas of sales, marketing, operations, merchandising, recreation programming, accounting and maintenance. The Jellystone Camp-Resorts are among the best campgrounds in the industry. We maintain a high quality family oriented image of fun, entertaining, friendly, clean and service oriented parks that on average have a higher revenue per site night and a longer average stay than that experienced by other campgrounds - independent or franchised.
